Book for any size event outside and probably any size inside event in a large venue, for example, a school or community center.  If your county, city, or state has a regulation against gatherings of a specific size, your event would need to be within those regulations for me to perform.
For in-home gatherings in the near future, I am only performing at those if less than ten people.

Shows are performed with a 6+ feet separation. Kids help out at a distance by yelling the magic word or wiggling their fingers. I do not pass out any props. If I call someone to come on stage, I’ll step away.

My balloon apron is loaded at least two days prior, and pre-made balloon animals are made the day before your event. I use a pump I have not touched in two days. At the party, I sanitize my hands before I get out of my car, then again right before I start making balloon animals. I do not pass out a balloon menu. I stay six feet away from the kids, except for the two seconds that I had them their balloon.

I always wear a mask indoors. Occasionally, I will remove my mask outside if the party guests are not wearing one.

My old website is still accurate and has more details. http://sillyjillytheclown.homestead.com/SillyJillytheClown.html.

You may take photos and videos of my performance, and please share them with friends or the public. Fine with Silly Jilly if you do whatever you want with the photos or videos. When taking photos, remember to stand behind or to the side of Silly Jilly too, and get photos of the party guests’ reactions.

Notice there is no “we” on this page.  Book Silly Jilly, and she is who will be at your party, the entertainer with five-star reviews.  Also, if you confirm a few days before your party, be comfortable knowing you have confirmed with the entertainer.

Pre-pandemic, I made balloon animals at Syberg’s Chesterfield Tuesdays, Serendipity Ice Cream spring and summer Mondays, Pediatric Dentistry of Sunset Hills once a month, and Eckert’s alternating fall weekends. Those performances are temporarily canceled.

I will travel almost anywhere. For example, I have performed at several Columbia, MO events, the Ste. Genevieve county fair, a company party in Branson, nursing home in Anna, IL and birthday parties in Greenville, IL, Carlyle, IL, and Gerald, MO.  Call or e-mail for pricing.  But for parties located about two hours from Webster Groves (Cape Girardeau, Hannibal, and Springfield, IL), it is Silly Jilly’s regular price ($195 for the first hour, $100 each additional hour) plus a usual travel fee of $100 weekday and $120 weekend. But for every half-hour past an hour, $10 discount.

I even make my amazing balloon animals and hats at adult events, for example, 40th birthday parties and nursing homes.
Ages three to seven especially love my gags and magic show. If you would like me to do my show at an eight, nine, or ten-year-old birthday party, I’ll make my show a little shorter and will still be a success as long as almost all the kids are ten and younger.
I don’t worry about impressing parents with my magic, figuring nothing will be more magical for the parents than the enjoyment I provide the children at the party.

Especially during the pandemic, I want you to be comfortable canceling your event if an attendee is concerned they may have a contagious virus, and for you not to worry about a non-refundable deposit.
But I would appreciate a partial payment if you cancel after I have already started to put on my make-up or have already pre-made balloons for your party.

You can either pay me (Venmo @Jill-ColquhounSchmidt, check to Jill Schmidt, or cash) or donate my fee to my Feeding America fundraiser or Charity Water fundraiser.
